The longest leg lenght I've used is a 1/2". I've never tried a 9/16". Hope that helps. Michael G.

I have not had a problem with mine. If you are using duo-fast staples, then your driver may be bent or your pressure is insufficient.

I bought the 1 1/4" Senco Staples. Here's the link on Amazon: Senco L15BAB 18 Gauge by 1/4-inch Crown by 1-1/4-inch Length Electro Galvanized Staples (5,000 per box) . They worked great on 1/2" engineered wood floor on 3/4" osb sub floor. Not a single jam in the 3000+ used.

I have only used 1/4 B8 Power Crown staples, and in my understanding that is the only compatible size

I have used the gun with both 1-1/2" & 2: Staples. For 3/4" thick pre-finished oak flooring I installed, I preferred the "B&C; Eagle ABCS-1516 2-Inch Length x 1/2-Inch Crown x 15 Gauge Galvanized Flooring Staples (1,080 per box)" also available from Amazon. They worked great in this gun and gave a good hold.

It uses regular size staples. However, I could not get it to staple 20 pages... it stapled about 12 pages, maximum. I found this stapler absolutely useless and returned it. I would NOT recommend this stapler to anyone.

This stapler weighs about the same as an Arrow stapler, but will do a better job at fastening your canvas to wood. The staples are about the same thickness as most of this type of stapler. The difference usually being in the width of the staples. The term "Heavy Duty" refers to the stapler. It has more power than some of the other brands. I used this Duo Fast to staple new seat coverings to some chairs and it did the job without leaving half of the staple sticking out like the Arrow brand did. I would think you would have no problem in using this stapler and seriously doubt you would regret buying one.

This stapler uses industry standard 1/4" staples available in various lengths. You can buy th online, or at most construction related retailers such as Lowes or Home Depot.

I assume you are asking about the length of the staples, I have used 0.25, 0.375 and 0.5 inch staples in my stapler. The stapler only allows for one width of the staple.

I don't know. I threw it out and bought a light touch type stapler from Staples (I already had a couple that were excellent). Most of the time I prefer the Amazon product --e.g. the Amszon shredder versus the Staples shredder-- but this Swingline was unsatisfactory, klunky and incompetent.

I don't think so; but, having said that only the manual can tell you for sure. If you do not have the manual, you might try and see if the Craftsman/Sears web site might have access to and old copy of the manual. The "Wide Crown" type staples are for really old staplers. Mine is over 25 years old and it is almost impossible to find this type staple in stores. None of the new staplers on sale at Sears, Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart etc. use this type of wide crown staple. My manual for my Heavy Duty Manual stapler says these kind of Wide Crown staples will work in Craftsman Staple Tackers Models 9-68642; 9-68643; 9-6844; 9-6847; 9-68472 and Duo-Fast Models CT-850 & CT-859. Good Luck.

I owned 1 of these for years. It staples neat and clean on 1 page or 40.I only used the Bostitch premium crown staples and never had any problem.After about 8 years of use the stapler started shooting out a staple every couple of hours so I don't use it anymore. I am thinking of buying another stapler so I will probably buy another one just like it. I loved it.

I have no answer. It is "powerful" - so I use it for multiple papers. I have a swingline, which is "junk" but it staples smaller amt.Ken A

This uses several different lengths of series 23 staples. You can buy them at Office Depot, Office Max, Staples or any other office supply store. You can also get them from Amazon, just type in "series 23 staples" and select the length you need. I bought one of these for our church office and it works quite well in stapling our booklets. Hope this helps. Sam

49 year old woman with tendinitis and rotator cuff issues. It definitely takes both hands and some pressure for me--more if I need to get the staples all the way in, reliably; less if I just need them to grab and hold. Overhead, I can do 50, take a long break, then another 50, in a day. If I want a perfect job, maybe 30 staples, and pressing downwards or sideways, not overhead. On the good side, it jams way less than some supposedly "self firing" staplers I have used, and I don't fear nailing myself in the thigh if I get careless and roll onto it (a grounded fear based on a prior bad experience). And it'll hold up to a more powerful user whaling away at it, without going wonky. 49 year old woman with tendinitis and rotator cuff issues.

The stapler was wonderful while it lasted, sadly, which was about 2 months. Throat depth is 3". My friend who recommended the stapler--hers is still going strong after several years, so maybe the quality control has evaporated? I went back to a red Swingline.
